LADYS SHOE-MIRROR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 447,770, dated March 10, 1891.

Application filed m 12, 1390.

reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in ladies shoe mirrors, the features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of my invention is to furnish a rest for the foot in the trying on of shoes and reflecting the same from a mirror whose frame is held in hooks on both sides of the rest, so that the said mirror maybe used at pleasure on either side, thereby presenting distinctly to view the fit of the shoe. The objects are attained by the'device illustrated in the ac companying drawings, in which- Figure I is a top View of the device. Fig. II is an outline of the rest, showing the side. Fig. III is a transverse section of the device on line a, Fig. I, the mirror-frame being held in a horizontal position on its pivots.

Like letters designate like parts in the several views.

A is the frame, comprising a top plate and side supports. This frame maybe constructed entirely of cast-iron or wood, or of both. The top plate, as shown, is of castiron, having notches ,in the side, in which are attached the hooks 2. In the back end is an inclining concavity, which serves to support the knee of Serial No. 358,531. No model.)

the attendant. Beneath this part is the drawer O to holdbuttoners, sponges, or otherarticles as may be needed, and within the square lines on the top may be attached a piece of carpet. The hooks or bearings 2, two on each side of the rest-frame, form the bearings for the loops or pivots 1, attached to the under sides of the mirror-frame. These parts support the mirror-frame in either a horizontal position or at either side. At Fig. I the mirror-frame is shown in a diagonal po sition to the right side of the rest-frame. In this position the lower edge of the mirror rests against the side of the rest-frame, and thus the same is held in a secure position. The mirror-framecomprises the wooden pieces B, top plate, and within said wooden pieces is held the mirror D.

The operation may be thus described: The shoe is drawn on, the foot placed on the mirror-frame, and the shoe buttoned. Then the frame is turned to one side, thereby exhibiting the shoe, so that it may plainly be discerned by the wearer.

Having fully set forth my invention, what I claim-is A ladys foot-rest having hooked hearings in the sides thereof, in combination with a mirror-frame, with a mirror on its undersu'rface and provided with bearing-loops to hold said mirror-frame in a lateral position, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I afli'x my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SIMON GOODMAN.
